When Meyer Werft moved to its larger location, it left behind a charming ensemble of buildings that has been the cultural heart of the city of Papenburg since 1992: The "Forum Alte Werft" includes the town hall with around 900 seats, the "Theater auf der Werft" with around 240 seats, the Zinnober art school and the municipal gallery.
The industrial heritage, which is still visible everywhere, adds to the special charm of the cultural and event venue. Even individual machines have been left in place as a reminder of the city's long shipbuilding tradition.
The "Forum Alte Werft" nevertheless never feels like a museum: musicals, concerts, theater performances, exhibitions or congresses fill the industrial monument with life.
Opening times depend on the events.
